Abstract photographers break boundaries at Adler Center
This October, a collective of local photographers will push boundaries at the Adler Center in "Women Undefined - Transforming Reality into Abstraction."
The 13 female artists in Women Undefined break the rules of classic photography to present ordinary subjects in surreal ways. They reveal the mind's transformative capabilities, explore the dimensions of their imaginations, and challenge the viewer's perceptions.
The group is composed of "inspiring and supportive abstract photographers from the North Shore area of Chicago," according to member Jane Feely of Highland Park.
This colorful exhibit will be on display at the Adler Center, 1700 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville, Oct. 3-30. Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturdays.
